tv   Weekend Early Start  CNN  February 10, 2013 6:00am-7:00am EST

6:00 am
just flooding us, possibly killing us. . from cnn world headquarters in atlanta, this is early start weekend. >> well look under every rock, well look around every corner and we will search mountain tops for him. >> he's out there somewhere. and l.a. police vow they will hunt him down. new developments this morning in the bizarre case of this rogue ex-cop. there is really no place to put the snow. >> cleaning up and digging out. the snow's finally stopped falling in the northeast, but get ready, there's another winter storm brewing right now. and tonight is the big night. it's all about the dudes, so
6:01 am
where do the women fit into the all male affair? it's sunday, february 10th, good morning, everyone. i'm deborah feyerick in for randi kaye. los angeles police have a message for christopher dorner. >> we're all hoping dorner will turn himself in and the chief wants to reopen the case and he made a plea to dorner that he would turn himself in. and to be honest with you, that would be the best resolution for this local thing right now. no one else has to be shot or injured, no one else has to die. he can turn himself in anywhere and he'd be taken into custody and he'll be able to get his side of the story out. >> searchers are combing the snowy resort area of big bear lake east of los angeles where dorner's burned out truck was found abandoned thursday. they're also reopening the investigation into why dorner was fired from the lapd, the reason dorner says he's on this
6:02 am
revenge killing spree. check out this video from an alley behind an auto parts store and you can see dorner's truck there and a man who appears to be dorner throw something stuff into a dumpster. the store's owner says the items were ammunition, military belt and a helmet, the video was from monday. and the hunt for dorner stretches from southern california to the border with mexico. paul, what is the latest on the search? because yesterday, nothing was coming up. >> reporter: well, that trail has gone just absolutely as cold as the hillsides and forest behind me. they have not seen any sign of dorner since that truck was found on thursday with its broken axle. but one thing that they were able to do is resume the ariel search yesterday because it had so much snow up here. they cooperate search in the snowstorm. so they went at it by air and on
6:03 am
foot. that is the search crews. in air they were looking for tracks in the snow and then they went door to door, s.w.a.t. teams and others knocking on doors, trudging through snow, armed, checking with neighbors, checking with anybody to see if anybody has seen any sign of dorner. they did not come up with anything yesterday. so he clearly is not on the mountain right now as far as some are concerned. others say he probably could be here because it there are so many vacation homes that would not be unimaginable to think that he might try to get into one. we talked to one gentleman who said on his block alone he believe there is is only 10% occupancy in these vacation homes. many have a second home here. so right now the search up here very cold. >> what's so fascinating, you see some of the police trudging to the homes because so much snow fell, even if he did manage to get into one of those homes, they wouldn't necessarily be able to track his footprints. but let me ask you a question
6:04 am
because there was a significant development last night and that is the lapd is reopening its investigation, which essentially is one of dorner's demands. one of the things that he writes in the manifesto, the lapd has suppressed the truth, it has led to deadly consequences. it seems now as about if he's kind of getting his way. is this strategic? >> reporter: i think it is strategic. i think that's a sub text to all of this. but also the lapd is saying straight up that it wants to be fair and transparent. so they'll reopen the investigation, make sure there was nothing wrong there, but, yes, the subtext would be perhaps dorner would see this and give himself up. of course they are calling for him to do that and behind the mayhem. >> absolutely. dorner says he wants to bring the truth to light. we'll see what happens. paul, thanks so much. and now to our other big story this morning. the massive blizzard that socked the northeast this weekend, the storm crippled air travel and stranded hundreds of drivers on
6:05 am
highways that quickly became cover canned in snow. the storm and havoc it created led to the death of nine people including a 14-year-old boy in boston and a 74-year-old man in upstate new york. new york central park got a relative dusting, just 11 inches, certainly enough for people to come out and enjoy sledding. but it was a different story 80 miles away in hamden connecticut, that town digging itself out of 40 inches. boston got 25 inches and that's where we find endra peterson. massachusetts got hit hard by the power outages. what are the plans to get everything back on? >>. >> reporter: we have a 308,000 he is dents still without power. it's a cold night. temperatures just in the teens. we're seeing clear skies. but the story today as we start to see sunshine will be what to do with all of this snow.
6:06 am
take a listen to what governor patrick had to say. >> we have a lot of snow to dispose of and to remove. and it will take some time to do that. >> reporter: the snow emergency will still stay into effect. we'll be talking about needing to clear the snows and the snow emergency will stay in effect today. and it will also take time for the airports to catch up. over 5,000 flights have been canceled last thursday. logan did open their first one last night at 11:00 p.m., but all of the severe weather will take time to get back to normal. here's the thing. today the sun expected to come out. we have all of this snow right behind me. we have one day to clean it up. and so we'll start to see it melt. but by tomorrow, we'll be talking about another chance for some icing and then even some more snow. so a lot of cleanup efforts will be needed here in boston. >> fascinating.
6:07 am
i know i'm from morning city and they just dump the snow in the hudson river. so we'll see what they did decide to do in boston. indra peterson, thank you so much and welcome aboard to cnn here for us in boston this morning. good news if you're trying to get out of the northeast. all major airports are up and running today after more than 2,000 flights across the nation were canceled yesterday according to flight aware tracking. more than 5,000 have been canceled the entire weekend. that might mean some longer than usual wait times today. so bring a book. and a lot of patience. power crews are working to restore electricity to some 400,000 people across nine states. massachusetts and rhode island were hit the hardest. more than two dozen people will be waking up in a long island walmart this morning. road conditions became too dangerous for shoppers to leave
6:08 am
during the blizzard, so walmart allowed them to stay. i guess they probably have plenty of things to eat and certainly tooth brushes. one customer said she threw in the towel after spending at least seven hours trying to drive just two miles home. even one of the cnn crews spent the night. there's a lot of back breaking work to be done in the northeast. hopefully they'll get a little help in the weather. let's check this with alexandra steel. we talk about snow melt. just seems like snow disperse aadisperseal. >> today they won't get any help from the weather. it's a cold night. the winds were up, so it did keep the temperatures up a bit. but right now temperatures are in the teens. new york only going to 34. so not a lot of melts today. 34 for a high at boston, 30 in al ban notice. albany only saw 4 inches of snow. but five states had at least 30 inches of snow plus. boston, their fifth ever
6:09 am
greatest snowstorm. so where will the snow go? and we have rain coming into boot. so tomorrow we will see the beginning of snow melt. temperatures will warm pretty dramatically. we'll see 45 in boston, 47 in providence. portland, maine will get in to the 40s. portland having their greatest snowfall of all-time with the single snowstorm. so we'll see warming tomorrow, but tomorrow will actually be the warmest day of week. and then we'll watch rain come in and temperatures only stay in the 30s. so kind of a tough week. big picture, here comes next storm. we actually have a blizzard presenting itself. northern plains and upper midwest. here is the big picture. northern tier, snow maker. southern tier, severe weather maker for the southeast. so let's go to the north. minneapolis expecting about 4 to 6 inches of snow. that may have seemed like a lot a couple of days ago. and then duluth will get maybe 6 to 8 inches of snow. but for chicago, just a rainmaker today. maybe half an inch of rain. but here comes this line of severe weather.
6:10 am
the possibility today for isolated tornadoes. we have a tornado watch in effect until 9:00 this morning. but that whole thing will shift eastward. so watch what happens. here is the big player. this is the area of low pressure coming out of of the rockies. it makes the snow and rainmaker for the midwest. but look what happens monday morning. monday morning in the northeast, the commute will not be good with all the rain coming in. so will flooding be a concern? that's the question. doesn't really seem to be, so in boston expecting maybe half an inch of rain. the biggest problems, though, will be where the storm drains have been clogged with the snow, so we won't allow that water to move. we'll see how that plays out. >> and just very quickly, will some of the snow melt with the higher temperatures, the temperatures in the 40s and is ice a possibility? >> oh, yeah. >> so rain, snow and ice city snow. >> and at night we'll watch the temperatures drop again, so the potential for refreezing on the roads. and then there's water and liquid and that may refreeze during the overnight hours. so a little roller coaster with the temperatures affecting the
6:11 am
type of precip we've got. >> all right, alexandra steele, thanks so much. enjoy the white powerry stuff today because it won't last for long. stores yanking beef products off the shelves after horse meat was found in lasagna products. the company plans to sue their romanian supplier. drama seems to follow chris brown, the singer crashed his car into a wall in beverly hills last night. he was trying to allude the p paparazzi but was cut off in an alley. earlier this week he was in court, prosecutors accused him of skipping community service for the 2009 assault charge.
